[Outdated] Ultimate EDTrickster [2M dps - UNKILLABLE]

hi. I am struggling super hard with this build. I'm lvl 68. 3k HP 1k Sheild. No idea why I can't even tank mobs sometimes and bosses are near damn impossible to fight. Is it my gear? Am I under-leveled to do maps? I'm new to the build and spell in general.

Someone can enlight me and tell me why we use tótem with wither? Con we Got a jewel that When we use blight it does wither Aswell, pls someone explain that to me xD

Mostly QoL feature. Much faster gaining wither stacks on enemies + drawing attention from you.

Here some posts about it from guide author:

6link Bane+Despair feels so much better for clearspeed,unlike ED+Cont. The main reason is that with the latter, I first have to cast Cont and then ED, which is a very slow cast, and in that time I can die. Am I thinking this wrong or am I missing something with ED+Cont?

Just bought a 5 Link Cane, but i have a hard time getting 3 blue + 2 green sockets. Is there any secret oder trick? :)

Ed gives us massive heal while Bane not for example

The heal is the factor that lets us tank late game as AethGorr stated.
For leveling/reaching maps i also just used the bane+despair setup, as it was more than enough to kill most mobs with one click.

Once you reach maps/delve Ed+cont shine, as the contagion will spread nicely due to the high monster density in the content.

what stats on gear do i wont focus on before i get the end game uniques? Armor,evasion,life, energy shield? The guide completely leaves this out..

Thank you for this well written build guide. It's easy to follow and the build is strong.
Best starter in a long time for me :)
